1st Grader Rodney Lynch Doesn’t Play (Except When He Does)

play shoot someone with his fingers and then a pair of scissors… and get suspended:

In a letter to Lynch’s parents, the vice principal of Roscoe R. Nix Elementary School said their son had been sent to the principal’s office three times on Dec. 20 for pretending his fingers were scissors and then a gun. After the third incident, he was suspended, according to the letter, obtained by WJLA.

I wonder how the teacher reported that to the principle?
Well he made a hand GUN = fired
He made his fingers like this = Fired
In fact the amount of times the teacher and principle must have broke their own rules must be huge.

Yeah, my girlfriend’s kid has had to change schools for this same thing. They called it “pointing in a threatening manner.” And said he could no longer attend that school due to his behavior. And yes, it was a public school. He was in second grade.

It’s amazing how much of the mainstream movies, video games, media, etc all celebrate violence (I’m not saying they shouldn’t cause I love it) and then when a child reenacts those things in good fun he gets reprimanded.

Hell, in 7th grade my friends and I would pretend to shoot each other or with “air guns” (see air guitar”. One of us would start it off, eventually we would one up each other until someone “pulled out” a bazooka or some kind of HEAT launcher or grenade or something stupid. Teacher used to tell us to stop, or catch us here and there. That was it. Her husband was also a marine. LOL
